六、个别特殊短语
would rather, had rather, had better, would (just) as soon, would sooner均作“但愿,宁愿”讲时:
(一)后接动词原形,表示现在或将来的一种主观愿望或选择
例句: 1 would rather go there with you, because you are the only person that I have been acquainted with.
分析: 该句是复合句,定语从句that I have been acquainted with修饰the only person。
译文: 我宁愿和你一起去那儿,因为你是我在这里唯一熟悉的人。
(二)后接从句,从句动词一般用一般过去时表示现在或将来的愿望,动词用过去
完成时表示过去的愿望
例句: Id rather he stayed there, because weather is said to be somewhat worse according to the news.
分析: 该句是复合句,weather is said to be...是it is said that...的变形。
译文: 我希望他待在那儿,因为据新闻报道天气将会很恶劣。
例句: Id rather you had not been so rude to her, she was a new comer after all.
分析: 该句是复合句,其中after all意为“究竟,毕竟”,you had not been so rude to her表示与过去事实相反假设。
译文: 真希望你不要对她那么粗鲁,毕竟她是新来的。
